Mother's Day

Hi there, I have a quick Mother's Day card from me today, just to get me going, it is so cold, we have had 6" of snow today and it's still coming down, sat here listening to the wind ripping round the house,

I used a First edition paper, Tim Holtz and Crafters Companion Butterfly dies, the corner and letters are from AliExpress only took half an hour but really pleased with the effect and the yellow green paper makes me think of Spring.

Peacock Queen and Vines and Berries

Hi there, I've had a wonderful time colouring these two beauties.

Mitzi has given us two new releases from Aurora wings this month, 

you can see everyones release projects at Aurora wings showcase

the first is Peacock Queen, there is something so regal about a peacock, I coploured her with copics,

the papers are from an old CD from Artylicious called Peacock Summer Party, the feathers are SnipArt that i purchased from Anna at The Craft box, coloured with copics then laquered.

I was struggling to get my Neenah card solar white from my usual supplier but I found it at Craft Stash they were very quick delivery and if you spend £15 (which isn't difficult) its free P&P

This next one is the third in the Seasons set, Wings and Petals was Spring, Fins and Pearls Summer and this one is called Vines and Berries, coloured with copics on Neenah then mattered and layered on burgundy and gold card.

Woodland Bird

Hi there, it's new release time at All dressed up stamps and I got to play with 

WOODLAND BIRD

what a great image this one is I really love it,

decided to use fairly muted colours as I thought it made it look a bit Folksy, the papers are from HOTP the feathers are SnipArt from The Craft Box , I coloured them then used a crackle paste on top. The sentiment is computer generated.

Showjumping and Campervans

Hi there, hope you've had a good weekend, I must say I feel really guilty as I've not done any housework this weekend, I popped out to see my Mum and Dad Sat morning then my Mother in law Sat afternoon, bought some new phones to try and stop the crackly line, walked the dog and played, I have a chicken in the oven ready for tea and thats your lot.

The playing involved making a couple of cards for a commission, the first is for a young girl that loves showjumping its from her Grandma and the second is for her Uncle having a special birthday, after tea I plan to make a start on my DT work plus it's my Hubbies birthday on Friday, mine as well actually. At least he never forgets me.

This is using horse riding from Polkadoodles that I coloured using copics, the grass is an icicle die from Marrianne that I turned upside down, the sky is done with distress in and a stencil made from a die.

 Wow, what a treat we have in store for you today,

not one, not two, but three new Sprites for you from Aurora Wings.

I made a plaque with this sprite, first I stamped the gessoed wood with Imagination's text stamp, then using Imaginations diamond stencil I layered it with black paste, coloured and laquered a SnipArt Love and Scroll fixed to the frame with the Happy Pierrot and some flowers, the balloons are laquered as well. I coloured the Sprite with copics.
